Cheat
A schoolteacher's son brought his report card home. The father said, "Let's
see what you have accomplished." He opens the report and to his dismay sees
all bad grades. "What do you have to say about this, Johnny?"
"Well dad...At
least you know I'm not cheating."
Weep It Up
A husband asks: Why do you weep and sniffle over a TV program and the imaginary
sadness of people you have never met?
Wife: For the same reason you scream
and yell when a man you don’t
know makes a touchdown.
Now You Know
Young Son: Is it true, Dad? I heard that in some parts of the world
a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her.
Dad: That happens
in every country, son.
Fried Chips

a client comes in, and asks one of the clerics, "Are you the fish fryer?"

Odds and Ends
Ball Of Time - The official time
ball for the U.S. is on top of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington,
D.C. As early as 1845, the U.S. Navy dropped a time ball every day at noon
from atop a building on a hill overlooking Washington, D.C. People from many
miles away could set their watches at noon. Ships anchored in the Potomac
River could check their chronometers.
White Noise - Popcorn was banned at most
movie theaters in the 1920s because it was considered too noisy.
Wings Of An Angel - Following his breakup
with the Beatles in 1971, Paul McCartney formed his group Wings. The group
was nameless until McCartney, awaiting the birth of his daughter Stella about
a month later, prayed for her health. He came up with the group's name on
the "wings
of an angel."
Money Matters - I'm living so far beyond
my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.
- Hector Munro
Shadows Of Shine - Keep your face
to the sunshine and you will not see the shadows.
- Helen Keller
Parting Shot - It's funny the way most people
love the dead. Once you are dead, you are made for life.
- Jimi Hendrix

What is the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don’t
know and I don’t care one way or the other.
Cleaning Up
The newlywed said to her husband. "I'm not cleaning up after you.
I'm a career woman. That means I pay other people to do housework."
"How
much?"
"Eight dollars an hour. Take it or leave it"
A Bit Shaky
A drunkard was trying to insert the key in the padlock, but being unsteady
every time he attempted he failed. A gentleman came along and seeing the
frustration of the drunkard, he offered to help him to work the key in the
lock. Thanking the gentleman about his offer, the drunkard said, "It
is OK. I will manage the key myself, you just hold on to this house it seems
to be shaky."
